Studio Time

Best for: Printing a project you already have prepped, making tests prints, trying out different settings/color combos.

*Unless you have taken a workshop with us in the last 6 months, everyone who wants to book studio time must first take a Riso Refresher (Intro to Studio ︎︎︎) course for $75/45 min.

Details: In a one on one (available for up to 3 participants in the same group) workshop, we'll guide you through the entire riso process - you can come with a design or we can work on one together, you'll learn how the machine works and print your own.

Best for: A more in-depth learning experience, learning about file set-up, trying something new with an experienced instructor.
